ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF AD-MAS

GOOD NEWS: EVERY COMIC HAS BEEN SCANNED, UPLOADED AND PLACED IN A DRAFT FOR THE REST OF THE AD-MAS POSTS. ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS WRITE

BAD NEWS: THE STEAM WINTER SALE STARTED YESTERDAY

NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD FOR THE REST OF THESE POSTS IF I'M BEING PERFECTLY HONEST

HELL YOU MAY NEVER SEE THIS ONE DUE TO ME LOOKING FOR EVERY HORROR THEMED HIDDEN OBJECT GAME PRICED UNDER A BUCK. AWW YEAH, HERE'S ONE BASED ON A DEMON THAT ESCAPED FROM A GLASS PAPERWEIGHT THAT HAS TERRIBLE VOICE ACTING, AWWWW YEAAAAAH

2000AD #413 APRIL 13TH 1985

YEP, THIS IS THE 2000AD WHERE JUDGE DREDD CAME FROM. ANYONE REMEMBER JUDGE DREDD? SYLVESTER STALLONE? THE REBOOT STARRING THE GUY WHO PLAYED BONES IN THE REBOOTED STAR TREK? ANYONE?

ONE THEME OF MY COMIC COLLECTING IS WHERE ONE TIME I FOUND SOMETHING COOL AND CHEAP, BOUGHT A FEW ISSUES TO SAMPLE, AND THEN NEVER EVER FOUND ANY ISSUES OF THAT COMIC EVER AGAIN. IT HAPPENED WITH THAT CONAN COMIC I SHOWED OFF A FEW DAYS AGO, FOUND A BOX OF THEM FOR A BUCK EACH AT AN ANTIQUE STORE IN CHICAGO, BOUGHT FIVE THAT LOOKED INTERESTING AND HAVE NOT SEEN ONE SINCE. SAME WITH THE 2000AD'S. THE BOOK NOOK IN ATLANTA HAD A BOX OF THEM MAYBE 20 YEARS AGO FOR AN ODD PRICE LIKE $2.25 EACH OR SOMETHING SO I BOUGHT A SMALL SAMPLING AND THEN THEY DISAPPEARED. AND I REALLY DOUBT I'LL SEE ANY OF THESE AGAIN WHAT WITH THEM BEING OVER 35 YEARS OLD, FROM THE UK AND PRINTED ON NEWSPRINT

I CHOSE THIS ONE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THAT CRAZY COVER OF THE FLAMING ROBOT MURDERDOG. THE COVER IMAGE IS FROM THE THE FIRST STORY IN THE COMIC, ALAN MOORE'S BALLAD OF HALO JONES. THERE'S FIVE STORIES IN HERE, MOST OF THEM ARE SUPER VIOLENT AND FEATURE STUFF LIKE ROBOT DOGS, DRAGONS FIGHTING DEMONS, SPACE MARINES FIGHTING BAT MONSTERS. THE JUDGE DREDD STORY IS THE LAMEST ONE IN THE BOOK, HE BUSTS SOME YUPPIES MAKING CRANK CALLS. FOR REAL, THAT'S THE STORY. HOW DO YOU GO FROM BAT MONSTERS AND DRAGONS TO THAT. JUDGE DREDD SUCKS

OK THIS IS KINDA OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT BUT C'MON. HOW CAN I NOT SHOW OFF AN AD FOR A FREE PANINI MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE STICKER ALBUM. EVERYONE LOVED PANINI STICKERS AND WE'RE ALL OLD ENOUGH HERE TO HAVE WATCHED HE-MAN ON ITS INITIAL BROADCAST. SADLY I DID NOT GET THE ISSUE WITH THE FREE ALBUM. I'M NOT SURE IF THE SHOP JUST DIDN'T HAVE IT OR IF I MISSED IT OR WHAT. I DID GET THE ISSUE WITH A FREE DUNE STICKER ALBUM AND BOY WAS I CONFUSED WHEN I OPENED THE COMIC AND SAW IT IN THERE. MAYBE I SHOULD SHOW THAT OFF INSTEAD OF DIGITAL DOGS
